How can Texas reduce DWIs?

A new law in effect as of Tuesday requires blood alcohol tests for almost everyone suspected of DWI if they have a previous DWI. A proposed bill would reduce the backlog of first time offenders through deferred adjudication. It would clear a driver’s arrest record if probation were completed without another DWI. Meanwhile, Texas only collects 39 percent of the DWI fines imposed in the last decade, and arrests mount.

How can Texas reduce DWIs?

Strict enforcement. The state shouldn't worry about the lives of drunks after they drive.

Technology. Wire breathalyzers into the ignition of cars of offenders and repeat DWIs will decline.

Adjust the penalties. Those drunker than Cooter Brown shouldn’t be treated as if they're barely tipsy and visa versa.
